I, Chen Zhuo, an Unrivaled Sword Cultivator!

The Ancient Immortal Realm, aboard the Sword Boat.

A flash of black light, and Chen Zhuo appeared once more.

"Phew~"

As usual, he took a deep breath and felt clearheaded and refreshed.

There was nothing else to say: the air in the Ancient Immortal Realm really was sweet!

If only I could combine the Ancient Immortal Realm with the Immortal Estate World. That would be perfect.

Chen Zhuo could not help feeling a little regretful.

Unfortunately, he could not have both the fish and the bear's paw.

Before, Chen Zhuo had treated the Ancient Immortal Realm as an endlessly exploitable source of resources, somewhere he could buy and resell goods.

But now, he felt more at home in the Ancient Immortal Realm. The Immortal Estate gave him a sense of cold indifference.

Perhaps it was because he had once reaped the benefits of the Immortal Estate, while now he was reaping those of ancient cultivation...

Chen Zhuo shook his head, sat cross-legged, and began regulating his breathing to calm his mind.

The complete optimized Azure Sun Thunder-Controlling Sword Scripture slowly surfaced in his mind, along with the Sword Monarch's annotations.

"When my heart settles into perfect stillness, the azure sun rises from the great void. The sword bears the laws of the heavens, and thunder follows the phoenix's first cry. Clear thunder sweeps away shadow and filth; righteous qi steadies the mystic void. At one movement, all heavens answer, and ten thousand evils shrink away..."

Chen Zhuo silently recited the method and began circulating his Spiritual Qi according to the optimized formula.

Compared with the original, Spiritual Qi flowed far more smoothly through the optimized Sword Manual. It cut out unnecessary circuits and improved efficiency by more than a little.

*No wonder the Sword Monarch said it could increase cultivation
